Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Prime Time. By Songfacts®.

As you can infer from the band name, The Tubes had a fascination with television, which was the theme of the Remote Control album, produced with a concept about a television-addicted idiot savant. In the song "Prime Time," a couple is professing their love for each other in TV jargon: "prime time" is when most people are watching.

Todd Rundgren, who two years earlier helmed Meat Loaf's mega-selling Bat Out Of Hell, produced the album.

The female vocalist on this track is Re Styles (Shirley Marie MacLeod), who was a stage performer with the group but sometimes contributed vocals.
